About the Gobble Gobble Run or Wobble 5K

The race starts in front of the courthouse on Main Street, which puts you right in the middle of downtown Warrenton. There are two route options, a full and a shorter one, so walkers with a slower pace have a course that fits the morning window. The whole thing benefits early childhood programs for families in the county.

Packet pickup runs the evening before at a local school, with race-morning pickup available at the same location. The start and the awards area are a short walk apart, both anchored near the courthouse and the school parking lot on Third Street.

Common Questions About the Gobble Gobble Run or Wobble 5K

Will I finish last at the Gobble Gobble Run or Wobble 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 31:58, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:00:45, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Gobble Gobble Run or Wobble 5K a good first 5K?

A field of 442 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Gobble Gobble Run or Wobble 5K?

The 5K winner ran 16:38 while the median finisher took 31:58. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
